welcome to hamsterville!

After a month of doing housework fulltime (Priscila is NOT coming back it seems), I retract my earlier curse on my dear mother.  I understand why she didn't let us do housework .. it's BORING !!

Maybe I am just having a bad day, or it's the usual female monthly excuse, or housework is getting to me - but seriously since leaving my web programmer job and 3 years of studies I have never felt my talents more wasted than standing in front of the sink 2 or 3 times a day washing dishes!

I used to like routine.  DD was in a very strict one - 
I'm beginning to 
wonder if it created her or she created it ?! Anyway, when DS came, I threw routine out so that I could cope.  Now this year brings with it a daily scheduled event and as a result everything else is slotted a time on my schedule.  Which  is why I feel like I am a hamster stuck on this wheel that goes round and round everyday - the same routine, the same events at the same time, the same dishes (so that I don't have to pack away!), the same sandwiches for lunch, the same boring food every week !! (I miss my experiments!)

Regular events that I miss :
  • Priscilla arriving at 7:30 am every week day
  • My 8am call to ZS
  • My 10am tea time
  • Going to bed after 10pm
  • Waking up after 7am 
Postive thoughts to clear my negativity :
  • Waking up at 5am and seizing the day Algamdulillah
  • DD going to school and developing into a person away from me
  • Spending time with DS alone in the morning
  • Having a hobbitt's 2nd breakfast around 9am (all that housework makes me hungry)
  • Kids both asleep by 8pm everynight...... now if only I had the energy to stay up and spend time with DH
